I had hopes of a natural birth with my son but after 4 days of trying to induce and never getting past 5 centimeters we chose to have a cesarean birth. Even if your brith plan didn’t go as hoped, know that a cesarean birth is still a birth. It’s just as beautiful and your […]

Being a Vienna VA newborn photographer is such a joy. I have photographed this sweet family for the past several years. I saw them welcome their first son who they waited and prayed for into their arms and hearts. Now they are a family of six with three little boys and the most darling baby […]

This maternity session in DC felt so whimsical. It had just started to mist when I met my clients, giving us the perfect lighting for their maternity session. We started at the Botanical Gardens in DC and then walked across the street to the Bartholdi Fountain. I love this location! It gives you blooming flower, […]

This cozy newborn photo session was so sweet with the most laid back baby. His Mama reached out to me asking about a session but she was nervous how it would go. Having a new baby (sleepless nights are not for the faint of heart) and juggling all the postpartum things can feel daunting when […]

This week a client emailed me asking if they could book a session even if their home wasn’t magazine worthy. It made me a bit sad. I photograph is some lovely homes and honored to do so, but please don’t look that others home and think yours isn’t worthy. Your home is where your babies […]

This casual newborn photo session was everything I dream for an in-home session. The parents were so relaxed and gently guided their little boy into the photographs. Toddlers make up their mind as to what they want to do and if forced, can result in some big feelings. I enjoyed watching them interact in such […]

I can be hard to decide on what to wear for your maternity session. I always suggest starting with the mother’s outfit and then building from there for the other family members. Here are a few of my favorite plus size maternity dresses. They range from various styles and prices but all photograph beautifully. Christy […]

This session was so full of joy and warm family connections. I always love when a grandparent opens the door when I arrive. It shows how much we need support and family when a new baby enters the world. This session was so close to our own home that I could walk there. We love […]

I had the privilege of walking through the Dumbarton Oaks gardens this spring. Two of my friends from Virginia drove into the city and we had such a lovely day together. Dumbarton Oaks is bathed in beauty and history. I’ve visited in multiple seasons but springtime is my favorite while the wisteria is in bloom. […]

This maternity session in DC was simply lovely! I think gardens are the perfect location for a maternity photo shoot. The new life blooming all around and the gentle feel that gardens gift us. Bloom and a growing belly make images feel soft and dreamy. The Bishop’s Garden a the National Cathedral is a hidden […]
